Has there been any sign of the Obama camp reacting to the widespread voter caging?

Reports are coming in from dozens of states about various ways eligible voters are being purged from the lists.

Some of the stories appear to be deliberate attempts to purge targeted groups of people.

The story has shown up in the alternative media enough so that the Obama camp should be aware of it.

Has there been any sign whatsoever that they are going to do anything about it? Even just making a public statement acknowledging it would be a nice start ?!

If they're just going to ignore this, I don't think it's a good sign.

1. I've been really worried about this

And though I read something a few months ago about a watchdog group on voter suppression, I haven't heard anything lately. Voter suppression has the potential of negating all the excellent work that has been done in voter registration.

2. I think he needs a "public service announcement" type of ad

And explain what it is and how it happens. The "absentee" ballot stuff is going on in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. I also heard something about Michigan.

4. even more than a PSA, how about an investigation?

5. Not as effective to stop the damage at this time

He doesn't have time to focus on that and there are some watchdog groups that could effectively investigate right now. But after the election, for sure.

6. I don't mean his camp doing the investigation

i mean just calling for an investigation... to show people what's going on... anything at all would be a step in the right direction.

so far all I hear are
